WOW looks at all of those eggs!!!!

My girls love my sourdough starter discard. I usually mix it with their fermented grains and chopped veggies.

I agree, I have noticed this as well. Not sure what has changed but there clearly is less response quickly....

Aw, thanks Laura, am excited to see your posts here on this blog and Peepers is in a very good place!. Very interesting stuff your posts!! I enjoy reading those old articles too. My chick too is very active, trying to already jump out of the brooder. I think I will need to do something like...
